We arrived just a little late from our last location, but that was no problem for checking in. I called the property and the lady I spoke to was lovely. Checking out was easy too.
The cabin was ample for our needs. If we had cooked there, we would have had everything we needed. But we went out for dinner instead and it's not too far to the restaurants.
The room had cleaning supplies and lots of bed linen. The bathroom was great. There was plenty of storage space if you are planning to stay a bit longer.
There was a movie evening for the kids and a games room which was fun for a little while. We didn't get to try out the playground which looked great. Maybe on our next trip to Lakes Entrance.

Hi Josee, Thank you for your stay with us and your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to respond with regards to our noise guidelines. We ask that noise from any source to be kept to a minimum especially before 8am and after 10pm. When we do a security and park lighting check between 9.30pm and 10pm, we keep an ear out for any audible noise coming from the villas that may disturb other guests. If this is noticed we politely remind the guest that the noise level needs to be kept down from now on, which on occasion may be earlier than 10pm. We are sorry that this negatively impacted on the overall score of your stay and apart from this, we hope that you enjoyed the rest of your stay with us.
We booked for 5 nights. Maybe a clean and restock tea soap would’ve been nice

Hi Susan, thanks for choosing to stay here and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. It’s great to receive 4/5. We appreciate your feedback as it provides us with an opportunity to respond. Like most holiday parks, housekeeping isn’t included which is reflected in the tariff, however, a complimentary starter pack of tea, coffee, milk, soap, dishwashing liquid, toilet paper etc is part of the package. In saying this though, we would have been more than happy to restock some of these items if you had let us know as we want all our guests to have a wonderful stay here with the intention to return one day. Thanks again and best wishes for the festive season from all the team here.
The worst big 4 I’ve seen, only selected in the internet because of big4 name and that was a huge disappointment. Over priced, nothing to do l, outdated by 20 years playground. Dishes stunk of fish and ruined our food when cooking, frying pan was so bent and buckled it was almost impossible to cook anything except around the edge.

We were so disappointed to see this review, our team work hard in always presenting all areas of our park in its very best light. Usually our guests find plenty to see and do, having swimming pools, a playground, indoor games room, tv and movie room, pedal go kart hire, tennis and basketball facilities and a BBQ area all onsite, and there are also a huge number of local attractions close by, but are sorry that this was not the case for you. We appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention, however we would have been very happy to help rectify the situation during your stay as we always hope that our valued guests have the best time during their time with us and are sorry that this was not bought to our attention then. We have since had our team do a thorough check and replacement of some of the cooking items in your villa. We wish you well for your onward and future travels.
It was perfect for our travel it was close to everything.

One night stop over
We stayed here for one night. The cabin didn't look like the ones in the photo and we had a bit of difficulty moving the car in and out of the parking space due to the small area. The cabin faced west and of course the western sun belts in through the front sliding doors. The cabin was aged but clean enough, not much room around the bed in the bedroom. The park is not really within walking distance to the marina area or the restaurants and shops.

Excellent family friendly accommodation - Great location with an easy walk to both the centre of town and to the beach foreshore / lake area.

Thanks so much Mel for this great feedback and review score. We are pleased you enjoyed your recent stay with us, and found our location so central to town,thebeach and lakes entrance. We look forward to having you stay with us again one day in the near future.
Good location 1 block back from the foreshore, walking distance to the retail strip. Cabin in reasonable condition, but a few items needed repair and the bunk beds were extremely basic. Good facilities throughout park. Thought the price was a bit high considering the street front advertised price of cabins in other parks was considerably less. Was also disappointed at the significant price increase for each child, even though the cabins are advertised as accommodating 6 and nothing more than an extra towel and soap provided for the cost.

Rooms are too close to each other as we can hear next room as if there is no wall. Bed sheets are rough and can be noisy when turning, disturbing the other person sleeping on the same bed. Toilet flushes are very noisy as the rooms are too close to the toilet. Kitchen does not have an oven which was disappointing.
